==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Arion'' is designed for speed, powered by a 210-rated [[Light Force]] [[fusion engine]] that gives the ''Arion'' 97 km/h top speed in either vehicle or Quad 'Mech mode, enabling it to avoid too much damage from incoming fire. Due to the size of its equipment, the ''Arion'' has limited room left over for weaponry and armor protection. This left designers only two and a half tons for armor, leading to the use of [[ferro-fibrous armor]]. Due to this low armor protection and its marginal flank speeds, this left the design highly unlikely to survive a direct encounter with any heavier combat units, including typical [[BattleMech#Light|light]] BattleMechs.

Like all vehicles of its kind, its 'Mech weaponry is concentrated in its turret-like torso, enabling it bring those weapons to bear on any opponent from any direction. With its two-crew cockpit, the QuadVee's dedicated gunner can target multiple targets. The ''Arion''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary weapon is its [[Series 7K]] [[ER large laser]] mounted in the center torso. Its secondary weapons are a pair of [[Type 1 Cross-Pattern]] [[SRM-4]] launchers, one per side torso. The integrated [[CASE]] allows for it to survive a possible ammunition explosion from its single ton of SRM reloads.<ref name=tro3145:tc2728/>
